... more jobs that the cats would like doing while they are here!
I am feeling much happier now as I can see that they will be very happy and that once we leave they will forget about us and just keep watch on the food we Sarah, Simon, Wilma & Marlene!

... iron holder. I’ve made myself "useful", a little. We’ve also practised playing computer games to impress friends with high scores and spent far too long on Facebook. Laura has written some notes for one of her stories and declared that she must get out of her pyjamas before she starts on the vodka. I am pleased to note that it is nearly 5pm and she is still in bed clothes rather than swilling her mouth out with booze first thing in the morning!

Yes, we should have been in France by now. We've got volunteer placements set up from the middle of November, exciting work in French woods waiting to be undertaken. But Brian is poorly. Very poorly. So poorly in fact that she was towed back to Birmingham this morning, after we spent the night in the carpark of a **** factory outlet store somewhere in Suffolk. This was ...

... which are great for jungle trekking. Explore the virgin interiors of the forests and see the abundance of local flora and fauna in the jungles of Vietnam. The jungle trekking is one of the best adventure activities that you can do in the country.

Water Sports - Vietnam is ideal for a water sports holiday as there are several rivers that invite international tourists to surf their beaches, swim, go river rafting and sample the ...

What else? Not much happened this last week, I had two big pieces of coursework to hand in, so I was busy getting them done. I also got parcels from mum, Caroline and Tiff, which was so awesome! It was like Christmas! Thanks so much guys! Caroline sent me Tim Tams (all gone now) and I introduced a few people to the wonders of Tim Tams, which was nice.

I also went to the Sainsbury Centre, which is an art gallery associated with the UEA. It is a wonderful ...

... We started by driving to the Broads (big sea lakes) where we got a chartered boat out to see the seals. There were two types living together - grey seals and common seals. The grey ones are small and super cute! The common ones are larger and grumpier, but also nice. We got really close in the boat, but they didn't seem to even notice us. I hope not anyway!

After that we stopped in a town called Holt for lunch, where I found a great little cafe. I ...

... the getting up in the middle of the night (06:50) to get there for 08.00. Mind you I have been very lucky because Tony has done everything else while I have been at work - I just came home pleaded complete exhaustion and ate the meal he had cooked with the occasional glass of wine ( or Pims).

What completely took me by suprise was the very generous leaving present I recieved - some emergency funds for our forthcoming trip. I ...

Spending time with the one who you love is essential for a honeymoon getaway. Exploring the scenery can be fun but you can also take pleasure in one of the safari lodges which are warm and distant from crowds. There is only a small quantity of ...

Hello!

I'm still in Norwich (obviously). Have had a fairly full on week of uni this week, so sadly haven't been up to much, but I felt the need for a blog update anyway. Think I may have promised to do something crazy to write about in my last blog, but playing boardgames with my flatmates on Wednesday night is about as crazy as it has gotten this week. Sorry!

I have started on my creative writing dissertation project now, which is good ...

... which none of the boys were discouraged from doing because they were given a pen knife to sharpen their quills. After more hot beverages in Hawkshead (it was cold and rainy), the driver took us to Coniston pier, where we ate lunch alongside the lake where a man attempted to break the water speed record in the 1960s but died in an accident. I keep forgetting his name, but it's evidently national folklore...Simon even made us watch a ...
